In any one of the two computers. Really I can't even define what a server is :) In this case one the computers would be the file server. You could think of it as if it was a path in your computer. An easy setup :

*Computer A
c:\appdir
c:\appdir\data && Shared as 'data'

*set path to data

*Computer B
c:\appdir && No data dir

*set path to \\ComputerA\data

or ComputerA c:\appdir is mapped to say d:

*set path to d:\data

Or an alternative way :
ComputerB neither has appdir, data nor executable itself. Creates a shortcut pointing to :

\\ComputerA\appdir\app.exe && or use mapped drive letters
with Start in : ComputerA\\appdir

(This would work flawlessly thinking network speed and traffic is not much of a concern between 2 computers)
